Ted Casablanca
Encyclopedia : T : TE : TED : Ted Casablanca
Casablanca began writing for Premiere magazine in 1987 where he originally conceived his column before transferring it to E! in 1996 as a weekly (then subsequently, daily) column. He regularly presents it on E! Television and sometimes appears as a correspondent and commentator for various E! Television events. As Bibby he has written for a number of entertainment magazines and has been a contributor to the television magazine Hard Copy.
The most notable section of his Awful Truth column is his weekly "Blind Vice" where he provides cleverly constructed clues to otherwise unknown secrets and scandals about celebrities then invites readers to guess their identities. One of his more popular subjects has been about a male actor Casablanca labels as "Toothy Tile" and his secretly gay lifestyle. Casablanca has never publicly outed the celebrity nor has there been any proof to substantiate the claims.
